Embodiment
Describe embodiments of the invention below in detail, the example of described embodiment is shown in the drawings, and wherein identical from start to finish or similar label is represented identical or similar elements or the element with identical or similar functions.Below by the embodiment that is described with reference to the drawings is exemplary, only is used to explain the present invention, and can not be interpreted as limitation of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 1, the EIS method of testing flow chart for the embodiment of the invention may further comprise the steps:
Step S101 carries out EIRP in a plurality of locus to portable terminal and measures, M locus for example, and wherein M is a positive integer, with a plurality of EIRP measured values of M locus correspondence of acquisition.In embodiments of the present invention, this M satisfies the EIRP measurement requirement in a locus, also satisfy simultaneously the measurement requirement of EIS, described hereinly satisfy measurement requirement and be meant and satisfy that EIRP measures and the minimum requirements of EIS side amount, do not adopt the higher metering system of precision but do not get rid of, for example can adopt the mode of measuring every 15 ° locus yet for EIS.
For example, can utilize the emitting performance test mode of existing C TIA standard, portable terminal be carried out the EIRP measurement, thereby obtain each equivalent isotropically radiated power measured value of corresponding locus in a plurality of locus.According to the CTIA standard code, be positioned at portable terminal shown in Figure 2 on air interface (OTA) test sphere of sphere center position, on θ as shown in Figure 2 and the φ polarised direction, on the locus that whole test sphere is divided with predetermined angle intervals, the EIPR that can carry out above-mentioned two polarised directions measures.For example CTLA is defined in θ, Φ and carries out EIRP every 15 ° locus and measure, but in the specific implementation, can certainly adopt littler interval angle to divide the locus and carry out corresponding EIRP and measure.Here, EIRP measures corresponding locus, be the locus that the whole test sphere of Fig. 2 is divided with predetermined space, and the EIRP value by corresponding spatial position measuring, can COMPREHENSIVE CALCULATING obtain characterizing the total radiant power (TRP) of portable terminal emitting performance.
Step S102 carries out EIS as the reference space position to portable terminal with any locus in this M locus and measures, to obtain the EIS measured value of corresponding reference space position.
EIS described here measures corresponding to a locus (reference space position), both can adopt the regulation of existing CTIA, in θ, Φ locus every 30 ° division, also can carry out 15 ° of locus dividing correspondence at interval that EIRP measures according to step 101, can also be the locus that obtains less than 30 ° of intervals according to other.But, no matter what interval angle to divide the sphere of portable terminal transmitting-receiving performance test with, here carry out that EIS measures that a corresponding locus needs and step 101 in EIRP one of them locus of measuring M corresponding locus overlap, promptly this EIS measures one of them in M the locus that corresponding locus is above-mentioned EIRP measurement correspondence.Hereinafter will provide explanation after a while about this point.
Step S103, from M locus, select any locus as locus to be measured, and according to the EIS measured value and the EIRP measured value of reference space position, and the pairing EIRP measured value in locus to be measured obtains the EIS calculated value of locus to be measured.
By above-mentioned steps, can obtain the EIS measured value and the corresponding EIRP measured value of reference space position, and the M of M locus correspondence EIRP measured value.By the EIS measured value and the EIRP measured value of this reference space position, and the EIRP measured value of any locus to be measured, can obtain the EIS calculated value of any locus in M the locus.
Provide below in conjunction with Fig. 2 and to specify, portable terminal is positioned at the centre of sphere of Fig. 2 spheroid, and certain locus on the sphere is with (θ, Φ) expression, EIS θ (θ

j) representation space position (θ

j) representation space position (θ

j) the equivalent omnidirectional sensibility of the Φ polarised direction located.In the narration hereinafter, for the sake of simplicity, certain locus is represented with single subscript.
If the EIS of any two locus is EIS
j, EIS
k, j, k are used for representing the numbering of corresponding different spatial here, then:
EIS
j=R_
Sen-Gain_
j,
R_ wherein
SenBe radiosusceptibility, R_
SenDo not change Gain_ with spatial position change
jBe the gain of antenna in this locus direction.
Therefore, EIS

=Gain_
k-Gain_
j (1)
That is, the equivalent omnidirectional sensibility of any two locus is represented with relation such as formula (1) between the corresponding gain.
If the equivalent isotropically radiated power of any two locus is EIRP
j, EIRP
k, similarly j, k are used for representing the numbering of corresponding different spatial, then:
EIRP
j=Power_
cond+Delta+Gain_
j,
Wherein, Power_
CondBe the conduction transmitting power of mobile terminal antenna, Delta adds the actual emission power of power amplifier behind the antenna load and the difference of conduction transmitting power, Gain_
jBe the gain of antenna in this locus direction.Wherein, Power_
CondDo not change with Delta with spatial position change.
Therefore, EIRP

k=(Power_
Cond+ Delta+Gain_
j)-(Power_
Cond+ Delta+Gain_
k)=Gain_
j-Gain_
k(2)
That is, the equivalent isotropically radiated power of any two locus is represented with relation such as formula (2) between the corresponding gain.
The derivation of wherein above formula (1) and (2) has all been considered correct compensating for path loss.
Because what the present invention is directed to is to receive and send to adopt the same frequency channel system, so can obtain following equation in conjunction with formula 1 and 2:
EIS
j-EIS
k=Gain_
k-Gain_
j=-(EIRP
j-EIRP
k)(3)
According to formula (3) as can be known, the difference of the EIS of any two locus equals the difference negate (emission receives same frequency, and path compensation is the same) of the EIRP of these two positions.
By formula (3), according to the EIS measured value and the EIRP measured value of reference space position, and the pairing EIRP measured value in locus to be measured, obtain the EIS calculated value of locus to be measured, for example, according to formula EIS
j=EIS_
b-(EIRP
j-EIRP_
b) obtain the EIS calculated value of described locus to be measured, wherein, j is locus to be measured, b is the reference space position.Need to prove, the embodiment of the invention not only is suitable for the portable terminal of transmit-receive cofrequency, also be applicable to the situation that receive frequency is different with tranmitting frequency, different is can be more accurate for the portable terminal EIS calculated value of transmit-receive cofrequency, then may there be some errors for difference situation frequently as the EIS calculated value of measuring estimated value, but it as the initial value of further measuring EIS, still can be reduced the Measuring Time of EIS to a great extent.When particularly if receive frequency and tranmitting frequency are little at interval, for example the reception of GSM and tranmitting frequency only have 45MHz at interval, and the EIS calculated value that the employing embodiment of the invention obtains still more accurately.
If utilize the EIRP measured value of whole locational spaces of 15 ° of interval measurements of CTIA regulation, can obtain the EIS calculated value in M correspondence position space according to formula (3), except the EIS measured value that has measured in certain step 102.As described in the prior art, carrying out EIRP in this case measures 264 locus should be arranged.If utilize a part of EIRP measured value of whole locational spaces of 15 ° of interval measurements of CTIA regulation, this part EIRP measured value can with 30 ° of the CTIA standard at interval EIS to measure locus corresponding on whole test sphere corresponding one by one, promptly from the EIRP measured value of 264 locus correspondences, select the measured value of 60 locus correspondences, certainly the locus of the EIRP measured value correspondence of selecting is to be benchmark with EIS measurement space position in the step 104, spaced apart with 30 ° between the locus mutually on the whole test sphere.Perhaps, according to the angle of carrying out the locus that EIRP measure to divide, it is corresponding that this part EIRP measured value and other of selection meet the corresponding locus of the EIS measurement of CTIA standard-required.
Step S104 treats the measurement space position with the EIS calculated value as estimated value and carries out the EIS measurement, obtains the EIS measured value of locus to be measured.
Particularly, EIS calculated value that can locus to be measured is as estimated value, and carry out error rate measurement as initial value with this estimated value, judge whether the error rate of measuring satisfies the target error rate requirement, if the discontented foot-eye error rate requires then further adjusts initial value according to measurement result, satisfy the target error rate requirement until the error rate of measuring, and obtain the EIS measured value of locus to be measured.
In the EIS of prior art test, if test the EIS_ of position to be measured
i, just at EIS_
iPossible range in the search, for example, EIS_
iPossible range be-85dBm~-109dBm, test will begin to sound out from-85dBm so, if signal magnitude be-during 85dBm, error rate BER is less than target error rate, reduces signal magnitude so to-86dBm, the retest error rate once more; By that analogy.When the error rate during near target error rate, for example the target error rate of GSM is 2.44%, and the error rate is to reach at 0.5% o'clock so, just dwindles the interval that signal magnitude changes gradually.For example, signal magnitude changes to-and during 105dBm, the test gained error rate is 0.5%, and signal magnitude so next time is adjusted to-105.5dBm, goes to test the error rate once more, so repeatedly, until the requirement of satisfying target error rate.
From the above description as can be seen,, progressively approach test result, then need testing time of expending long if at first be the error rate test that will carry out many times on the one hand; If reach the higher bit error rate measuring accuracy, the test data bit that need send during the test error rate will increase on the other hand, and cost is to expend the more testing time equally; If improve the measuring accuracy of sensitivity, for example change the meticulousst step-size in search into 0.1dBm, will search for more frequently so, cost still expends the more testing time.In a word, the method for traditional test EIS, speed is very slow, improve measuring accuracy, will spend more time, and speed is slower.
But in embodiments of the present invention, receive and send the frequency of signal when identical for portable terminal, when promptly the frequency of the uplink and downlink channel of portable terminal (mobile phone) is identical, if the EIRP_ of known reference position (reference space position)
bAnd EIS_
bAnd the EIRP_ of locus to be measured
i, so just can measure the EIS of locus to be measured apace.
At first, according to formula EIS
j=EIS_
b-(EIRP
j-EIRP_
b), calculate the EIS calculated value EIS of locus to be measured
j, and with this calculated value EIS
jAs estimated value.The signal initial value is set to this estimated value, and the test error rate BER if compare the error rate that records with target error rate less than normal, then reduces signal magnitude; If compare with target error rate, the error rate that records is bigger than normal, then increases signal magnitude.In embodiments of the present invention, because the estimated value selection is very accurate, therefore can adjust initial value with very accurate step-length, for example 0.01-0.2dBm preferably can be 0.1dBm, thereby can obtain very high measuring accuracy.Because this estimated value is very accurate, so the number of times of test search seldom, perhaps be exactly once, so the embodiment of the invention improved test speed greatly under the prerequisite that guarantees measuring accuracy, and the measuring accuracy height.
It is to be noted, the EIS measurement is measured corresponding respectively predetermined space angle with EIRP and is not limited to above-mentioned specific embodiment, under the situation that satisfies the CTIA standard-required, the locational space corresponding according to the EIS measurement of predetermined space angular divisions exists the part and whole coincidence of satisfying the TIS test request to get final product with space, EIRP measuring position during practical operation.

In one embodiment of the invention, EIS measurement module 120 with the EIS calculated value of locus to be measured as estimated value, carry out error rate measurement with this estimated value as initial value, and judge whether the error rate of measuring satisfies the target error rate requirement, if requiring, the discontented foot-eye error rate further adjusts described initial value according to measurement result, satisfy the target error rate requirement until the error rate of measuring, and obtain the EIS measured value of locus to be measured.Step-length that for example can 0.01-0.2dBm is adjusted initial value.
Same frequency channel system of the present invention includes but not limited to 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system) TD-SCDMA, this system adopts TDD mode (TDD), receive and transmission work is at same frequency channels, and separate with different working time slots and to be received in transmitting channel.The present invention is applicable to that also other receive, send the system (such as WLAN (wireless local area network) WiFi) that adopts the same frequency channel.The present invention equally also is suitable for receiving and dispatching different channel systems frequently, and for example CDMA mobile phone etc. still can greatly reduce the testing time by the EIS calculated value that adopts the embodiment of the invention to obtain as initial value, improves test speed.Those skilled in the art can also thought according to the present invention expand to the above embodiment of the present invention in the test of other similar portable terminals, and these all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
